Been to several Hotels now on St. Pete Beach. Found that Bellwether is a little loose with their policies. The whole 5th floor smelled like weed. The Garage Level feels very dangerous, pretty sure the building is going to collapse within the next 5 years. There are numerous people coming and going into the hotel that are not staying. The elevator is worthless. The food though on the 10th floor was amazing.
